IT expense as a percentage of total expense |
Running internal business systems or maintaining a website is neither your core competency, nor something that generates sales for you; this idea should be reflected in your expenses structure – pay enough to keep systems running smoothly, but don’t chase around for cutting-edge technologies. |

Support expense per user |
Similar to the previous one. Having high support expenses (compared to the industry average or your own historical data) might indicate a potential problem. For example, your employees might contact IT too often because there are no clear manuals or people simply were not trained to use informational systems. |

Business system use |
Take some business system in your company (CRM, ERP, or BI dashboard), define an interval (for example 7 days) and calculate the percentage of registered users who used the system within the defined time interval. Compared to the historical data, this is a good lagging indicator for user engagement as well: if there is a top-notch computer software, but no one actually uses it, then it's time to start asking questions. |
